Description
Welcome to the debut of Mary’s solo podcast, Slow Living Through the Seasons. In this first episode, Mary talks about the seasonal shifts that take place in August and encourages us to slow down enough to notice the changes taking place in our environment. She also gives us an introduction to the Appalachian tradition of Gardening by the Signs of the Moon and some first steps in getting started with it for your fall planting.
For this month’s peek into the seasonal kitchen, we’re talking about baking bread in celebration of the ancient festival of Lammas, and a favorite recipe for garden tomatoes. She wraps up the episode with a discussion about taking a more sustainable approach to this season of back-to-school preparation, referencing some past episodes of The Good Dirt with more on the topic.
